Teaser Tuesdays: Books to the ceiling...

I am doing something slightly different today for Teaser Tuesdays. Instead of a two-sentence teaser from a book, I am posting a poem by Arnold Lobel [1933-1987], author of many popular children's books.

Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My piles of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

Note: I first stumbled across this poem at Living the Scientific Life and I'm quite sure you booklovers out there would love this too!

I'm Alice and I love books, beer, and racking up Qantas frequent flier miles between Singapore and Penang on Jetstar (and other parts of the world). I aspire to be a polyglot. Although I can only speak English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, and most recently, Italian, I'm hoping to master Swedish really, really soon!
